Robert Tregoning is an Indie Book Award-winning and Polari Prize shortlisted author. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art and performed in West End shows before he began writing picture books. Robert’s published works include The Dress in the Window and Out of the Blue.

As an author, he hopes to help children and adults alike to accept and celebrate all that makes us uniquely ourselves. The stories Robert writes are often stories he wishes he could have read as a child. He hopes they provide a voice of recognition, validation and kindness to those who need it.
